Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) has been widely used as a marker of early subclinical atherosclerosis. The determinants of cystatin C, a novel marker of renal function, have not been extensively studied in the Asian population. This study aimed to assess the determinants of cystatin C and explore whether carotid thickening was associated with urinary albumin-creatinine ratio and cystatin C in community-living Taiwanese adults. |
